Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Daily Mail is by no means a credible source. Nevertheless, I'm going to let this one stand because it technically is a newspaper, and that's the actual fucking headline, God help us.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait, sources are supposed to be credible? I thought the joke was "yes this is an article in an actual* newspaper that is so absurd it seems like it could be satirical"

*for a certain definition of "actual"

Yep, it's a rule in the sidebar. But this one is so goddamn bonkers I'm making an exception.

Who would have thought that a fascist shitrag would write fascist shit?

Ah, The Daily Heil strikes again.

tldr; Sarah Vine, a Tory tradwife, gazes in wonder at the sunlight coming out of JK Rowling's arse.

Vine is a person who allegedly had sex with Michael Gove (well, at least they were married for may years). If that doesn't deserve an eye roll, I can't imagine what would.

They want you to subscribe to DailyMail+ to read it, too 😭

They also want you to gargle their santorum, so... 🤷🏼‍♂️

EDIT: Jesus. I threw up in my mouth reading that unhinged hate alphabet soup of an "article".

Love how Watson gets all that hate for being an out of touch millionaire.. From an out of touch billionaire.

Entitlement knows no generational divisions.

JK Rowling? More like JK von Beingamensch.

I know you are getting downvoted but you found an insane oniony article. Seriously this reads like one of the Onion's laziest shitposts to show how annoying Karens are... And its real.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Honestly I didn't even scroll enough to realize there was a paywall I just saw the headline and that there was apparently an article below it and holy crap that headline is as Onion-y as you get.
